It was the generic one that was loaded with the firmware. It'll get you stared, but will idle way rich. You can easily pull the high vacuum, low RPM bins down 30% or so and get it started, then let VEAL tune he rest. Take you time and think before you modify! Don't let the pressure of all of the neighbors looking on rush you.

I did some no load tuning yesterday and have it sounding pretty good. I still haven't hooked up the O2 sensor. I don't think the no load (especially idle) data will be of any use. Every missfire dumps a cylinder load of free oxygen into the pipes, giving you a way lean reading, so I set VE for maximum RPM at 1000 RPM and 2000 RPM. The old Toshiba laptop is more stable with the USB-serial adapter. Every time I boot up the new computer, it re instals the driver and gives it a newer COM port... 6 more times and I'll run out!

Megasquirt rocks! I want to put it on my boat next! It's like a new toyota. Turn it on, hit the starter and it's running (but with a lope).
